When i was a young boy, i didn't eat much
A can of one or two, or eight won't touch
For what it's in, i got amends
With an empty milk bottle and a screaming hand

You are my hero
You are my hero
You are my hero
You are my hero
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
You are my hero
You are my hero
You are my hero
You are my hero
I, don't, know

I try my best, to still have fun
Cowboys and indians,mudpies and cap-guns
For what it's in, i got amends
With an empty beer bottle and a screaming hand

You are my hero
You are my hero
You are my hero
You are my hero
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
You are my hero
You are my hero
You are my hero
You are my hero
I, don't, know

Look at that young boy, he's older now
He thought that life was simple
But he's finding out
He sees how hard things were, for his old man
With an empty beer bottle and a screaming hand
